Abstract

Abstract:

Cognitive sociolinguistics combines the study of meaning by cognitive models with the study of usage-based language models, by which new research spaces and methods have been obtained for language variation study. Terminological variation may occur due to different situations of scientific communication and different groups of users. This paper analyzes the social and cognitive factors in terminological variation, such as term naming variation, industry-specific terminology variation, and the variation with emotional participation from the perspective of cognitive sociolinguistics. Our research shows that terminology will vary influenced by cognitive experiences, social environments, and emotional participation. We find that cognitive sociolinguistics study on terminological variation can clarify the process and origin of variation more clearly.

Key words: terminological variation, cognitive sociolinguistics, term naming, industry-specific terminology, emotional participation
